Yep exactly. Nothing set in stone, but 'official' account for top level posts and then named-person accounts for individual views/commentary seems decent.
Hey Nathan!
Appreciate the comment, and totally agreed on your first paragraph. We'll continue to post updates as the work progresses, and we'll welcome feedback and comments as we go.
On the second paragraph, fear not. Lara wasn't brought on to interface with the community in our stead, but provide comms wisdom and support. We've been discussing creating a formal HLI account through which we'd do future posting, but that would still be us at the keys.
Agreed. There's a lot of harrowing claims in the piece, but this one had me go "What the fuck" out loud.
This is really great, and I'm subscribing.
One bit of feedback is that a summary of the kind
Animal Welfare Fund: April 2022 grant recommendations
Summary & review of grants made in March / April 2022.
doesn't add value -- I'd have hoped to see a bulleted list of what the grants were.
Otherwise great work, and thank you Zoe!
Thanks for the detailed post! Public posts on projects as personal as this like this can be a bit scary to write, and I really appreciate the openness and detail.
As someone who has known him for a fair while, one thing I think this post doesn't quite do justice to is how genuinely lovely and helpful Tee is. Coaching - like therapy - gets a lot of its efficacy from the relationship between coach and coach-ee, and so I'm not surprised by the positive feedback showcased above.
Tee is unlikely to comment on how great he is, so I'm going to do it here instead :)
This was arrestingly sweet of you, Peter. Thank you. It's one of the best things that's come out of writing this post. I hope these types of comments get normalized in the community more broadly!
Hey Gregory,
Thanks for the in-depth response.
As I'm sure you are aware, this post had the goal of making people in the EA community aware of what we are working on, and why we are working on it, rather than attempting to provide rigorous proof of the effectiveness of our interventions.
One important thing to note is that we’re not aiming to treat long-term anxiety, but rather to treat the acute symptoms of anxiety to help people feel better quickly at moments when they need it. We measure anxiety immediately before the intervention, then the intervention r...
Hi GWWC folks! Just wanted to extend a hearty thanks to you on behalf of the Happier Lives Institute. We appreciate that you looked into us and we respect your reasons for wanting to come back to us later.
Naturally, we're doing our best to make this work out-of-date, make your concerns obsolete, and give you reasons to review our output. We've just dropped our updated psychotherapy report and 2023 giving season recommendations (which keeps StrongMinds and adds AMF!), and I hope you'll enjoy both.
Thanks Peter, and we'd of course like to extend the thanks back to HLI for being such an excellent collaborator here! Congratulations on publishing your new research. I'm eager to read more about it over the coming weeks and hopefully to dive into it in more detail next year in our next round of evaluations.
